OPTICAL TESTING

ILX Lightwave Corp. offers 30-mW distributed feedback source modules that cover the S-, C- and L-bands. The FOS-9200 series can be used with the SSB-9200 high-density source bank to operate more test benches simultaneously for increased throughput. The modules, providing picometer resolution, are suitable for testing network systems, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and Raman amplifiers. Features include internal and external modulation capabilities and factory-calibrated coherence control, which can reduce or eliminate nonlinear effects in fiber.
